FotoMan Plus
by Tony Curro
FotoMan Plus, by Logitech, is a digital camera for Windows and
Macintosh. It is as easy as point and shoot. There is no need to
develop film. Instantly your pictures are transformed to you
computer.
FotoMan Plus has the capability of taking 32 snapshots. It has a
built-in flash, and comes with a filter for bright light. You can
purchase many add-ons for the camera. By using the included step
ring adapter you can use standard 37mm camcorder accessories. These
include macro, wide angle, and telephoto lenses and filters. You can
even add a table top or standard tripod.
It comes with a carrying case, neutral density filter, and FotoTouch
Windows-based software for IBM or Digital Darkroom for MAC. The
pictures are in 256 gray scale, and have an image definition of 496
x 360 pixels. It has a rechargeable battery that will last up to 100
hours on a single charge. It comes with an AC power supply, and the
IBM version also includes 9- to 25-pin adapter.
You will need a serial port for the IBM version, and works best with
VGA or higher graphic card. The camera is small (measuring 6.7 x 3.2
x 1.2 in.), and light (weighing 10 oz.).
I used the IBM version. Once I took my pictures, I plugged in the
serial cable and connected it to FotoMan. When I ran the software I
saw thumbnail images of the pictures stored in the camera. I now
have the option of downloading all of them to my computer, or just
the ones I want. After downloading, I can either leave the images in
the camera, or delete them. Leaving pictures in the camera will
reduce the available shots you have left. Now, using FotoTouch image
editing software, you can edit at multiple zoom levels for
lightening, darkening and negative effects; brightness and contrast
adjustment; resize and rotate features; image merging; and support
for JPEG file compression.
FotoMan Plus for IBM supports: TIFF, JPEG, PCX, BMP and EPS. MAC
version supports TIFF(1-and8-bit), PICT/PICT2, EPS. IBM version is
TWAIN compliant.
This is an excellent product for a variety of industries from:
insurance adjusters and real estate, to construction, education,
government, desktop publishing and more. The graphic quality of the
photos is excellent.
I enjoyed using this product and do recommend it to anyone who has a
need for it. You will not be disappointed.
